Magoil is NOT a lifetime product, it will degrade over time (maybe 3-5yrs in ideal conditions) and eventually turns into a rusty mess. This is due to it\u2019s ingredients: it is basically some derivative of magnetite (which rusts almost instantly when immersed in salt water) coated with a surfactant (to prevent the magnetic particles from coalescing and forming that rusty mess) suspended in an oil base of some kind (preferably synthetic). Synthetic oils just take far longer to oxidise and degrade compared to hydrocarbon based oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At some stage in it\u2019s life the reel WILL suffer from this magoil degradation and then WILL suffer from water penetration past the now non-existant seal. If your reel is more than a few years old the magoil may have been lost. Be especially careful with the Magsealed bearings in the line roller of Saltiga\u2019s and the like. If these seize then a Magbearing replacement (and it\u2019s a non-standard size \u2013 5x9x4mm) is approx. AUD$60 from Daiwa. Fortunately I am able to supply a mod kit for these that allows a conventional bearing to be used, for the paltry sum of $15! If magoil bearings are still rolling, they usually can be cleaned out, regreased and magoil replenished, however there are no guarantees if corrosion has set in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
